Taxpayers paid over $300,000 for this crap??!! Not only that the incident freaked out an entire city!!! And the picture background is under-exposed to boot!! LAAAAMMMME!!!
However, if you saw it in high resolution, you'd see the whites are white, the blacks are black and all the rest comes into view. Full size does make a difference.
Was it worth that much? Well...it cost that much. That counts, doesn't it?
I'm just thinking that Air Force One NEVER advertises where it goes, thus giving terrorists no chance of shooting down that symbol. So the one part I understand is the secrecy behind it all.
Was it a good idea? Hell no. There are pics of Marine One over the Statue of Liberty and they rock just fine.
Why not Mount Rushmore? Why not the Golden Gate bridge?
"A Whitehouse handout photogarph released on 08 May 2009 of the Air Force One lookalike, the backup plane for the one regularly used by the president, flew low over parts of New York and New Jersey on 27 April 2009 morning, accompanied by two F-7 16 fighters, so Air Force photographers could take pictures high above the New York harbor. In a statement on 08 May 2009, the White House said President Obama accepted the resignation of military office director Louis Caldera. Caldera, a former Army secretary, took responsibility for the Air Force flyover that sparked 9/11-echo panic in lower Manhattan."
The "photo op" explanation is bullshit. If they really had been taking publicity photos, they would have used a professional photographer in a larger chase plane, not some Alabama Air National Guardsman in an F-16 with a hand-held Kodak. Take a look: you can see canopy reflections and foreground obscuration -- not to mention warehouses in New Jersey! -- in this badly composed "professional" photograph.
My guess? The VC-25a was full of rich campaign donors. It was a Lincoln Bedroom in the sky ...
That picture is PS-way too much difference in the plane and the island-I have seen this image enlarged and there are two flags behind Ms Liberty-another clear indication. Why? Who the living fuck nows? But this image is PS MM
FOD is the brainchild of Paul, who hates Mondays almost as much as he hates the Cooncracker. You don't have to fly the one fingered salute. But it helps. Send your picture to gravdigr@cebridge.net Put FOD in the subject line.
I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.

Well ya see, Norm, it's like this.... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
~Cliff Clavin
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.

Alcohol May Be Man's Worst Enemy

We all know what stinks in the wood pile...
As is, I agree: NOT impressive.
However, if you saw it in high resolution, you'd see the whites are white, the blacks are black and all the rest comes into view. Full size does make a difference.

Why not Mount Rushmore? Why not the Golden Gate bridge?
Aaargh. Whatever. Screw Obama.
I would have photoshopped that for them for $150,000. I'm cheap.
Why not the Golden Gate bridge?Because the Libtards in San Francisco would have WHINED like they do when the Blue Angels perform.
I'm sure, like anyone, they'd rather listen to a New Yorker yell than a libtard whine.
I don't know what stinks in the wood pile but it definately smells like shit.
I heard racoons like to pull up a pile of wood and die...
Who took that photo? The fighter pilot?
My cell phone cam does better pics then that
I can draw a better pic than that with a fucking crayon.

Ummm ... Did I get banned or something? This is a test ...
